INTRODUCTION TO STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

Course Description:
This course introduces the trainer to the basic principles of structural analysis and the relationship between stress and strain and their effect on engineering materials. Also, it discusses the effects of shear and normal forces and bending moments of statically determinate structures

Course Outline:
1) Review of the principles of statics 2) Stress and strain analysis 3) Shear and normal forces and bending moments of statically determinate structures 4) Bending and shear stresses in beams 5) Buckling of columns
